Lauren+King



I am entering my first full year at Fordham as a full-time student. I am very excited to upgrade from my part-time status. Technically I would be considered a "career changer"-- though I wouldn't call my brief stint as a book publicist as a "career". Publishing was something I fell into (and fell out of this February along with 30% of my co-workers) when I couldn't find a teacher training program I liked, after graduating from Lehigh University in 2007. I'm very excited to begin this semester and start student teaching.

Outside of school I can be found running, working in a running specialty store, or coaching two teams of very different runners. One of the teams I coach is a group of "new runners", mostly enthusiastic middle-aged folks who are looking for some extra motivation to get into shape and have fun while doing it. My other coach-ees belong to a track and field team comprised of elementary and middle-school aged Catholic School students from Jersey City, Hoboken, and Weekhawken.
